I think it would be better if she just released a completely new album instead of releasing the same album over and over again with extra tracks.
I mean, with all the bonus tracks she's been adding to the last cd, she could have already released a new one and still have half of the work ready for another one.

Very cool! But will I be able to get it in Canada? Doesn't sound like it :(

CanuckFan wrote on 27.07.2009 at 18:53
Why another album with the same songs + one or two new songs? Can't she just wait until the new album comes out? She's a great vocalist, but 1 album and about 5 EP's with all the same song on it + 1 or two extra is a bit too much if you'd ask me..

Well, money rules the world...

Zyan wrote on 27.07.2009 at 22:01
The two extra songs most likely will be the one she already released. Enough and that classical Wisdom of something...
It's going to be a vynil limited release. There might be about 100 copies or something. Record label stuff, after all.

Guys,this is the company's decision,not hers.
Companies that own the rights can do whatever they want,just like how Nuclear Blast released the CD edition of End Of An Era(only live cd,not the dvd),even though NW didn't want it.

Legeon wrote on 27.07.2009 at 22:57

Actually she doesn't have 5 EPs, she has one EP (for UK only)and now limited vinyl editon of that EP.))

And excuse me, NW re-released and released so many different versions, limited editions of DPP which contained all in all the same material, so Blackwood's words actually should be refered more to them )

Corey wrote on 27.07.2009 at 23:12
I don't think it's about money (who earn money with album releases now ?!), just to recall Tarja's existence and artistry to some fans, medias and concert promoters...

TT wrote on 27.07.2009 at 23:58
Amazing! I think it`s a good idea if the two bonus tracks are new songs..Good luck dear tarjaa! jaja

Federico wrote on 28.07.2009 at 00:09
@ Corey. You're right. I thought I had seen more and searched for it. But the others where Singles.
Sorry, my mistake.
and those 1001 different releases of Nightwish, or any other band, are also very, very annoying...
That the bands don't agree with it, makes it even worser.

Sorcha wrote on 28.07.2009 at 00:28
That news is old...
you can pre-order that LP for months already

It's hilarious how much different the comments are in here when it is related to Tarja and not Anette. LOL, I feel like being at the Tarja Forum, not the MFF website, haha

Metal from Finland reader wrote on 28.07.2009 at 15:34
@Metal from Finland reader

The reason for this is VERY simple.This happens because Tarja doesn't make a fool out of herself,doesn't badmouth others,doesn't give interviews to EVERY freaking magazine or TV broadcast,and she focuses on her music instead of salads,tatoos,Playstation and taking pictures of herself and her new clothes.

So people here don't need to comment or criticize on anything.

Legeon wrote on 28.07.2009 at 15:46
Metal from Finland reader, poor fellow and you really wish to turn MFF website into Anette's blog don't you?, lol
MFF staff probably should take your wishes into account and start making redecorations of their site and update news on food recipes and selling clothes announcements.

$am wrote on 28.07.2009 at 15:57
@ Sam: no of course not, don't react to sensitive. I merely commented on my pure observations on the comments on this website.

I am not choosing any sides, I like Tarja as an artist as much as Anette (even though the concept is hard to grasp for some). I do not care about Anette's personal life or blog for that matter, for me she is the singer of Nightwish, just like Tarja was, the rest is irrelevant to me.

Metal from Finland reader wrote on 28.07.2009 at 16:11
legoeon. Tarja doesn´t give interviews. Off course not. Nobody´s interested in interviewing her. She´s a lame duck.

Wrathchild wrote on 28.07.2009 at 16:48
You see 4 years ago 4 guys made somebody's personal life a huge deal openly with a lot of drama to get a lot of public attention. They touched not artistic characteristics, but personal ones, you know. They made it that way, that personal characteristics and life are VERY imortnat when it comes to NW's singer. So now this stuff is relevant. Thanks to them! :)

Metal From Finland user: " I feel like being at the Tarja Forum, not the MFF website, haha"

If Tarja continues singing like she did, dressing like she did and acting like she did soon you will have the same feeling wherever you go. Better get used to it now. ;-)

"for me she is the singer of Nightwish, just like Tarja was, the rest is irrelevant to me."

I see that the rest is irrelevant to you. The only thing that matters to you is that she is the singer of Nightwish. That she was CHOSEN. Talent is irrelevant. As well as stage performance and attitude. Hey everyone let us give Anette ANOTHER chance. We have already given her one back in 2007. If someone speaks with Maestro tell him to give Anette another chance. One more album. She is Nightwish singer as said afore, and THAT should be respected. Even by Maestro!

@Legeon it seems to me you've got a die-hard fan of your own. Of all people posting here, he replies only to your comments. :-)

TheSeer (narrow-minded one) wrote on 28.07.2009 at 17:54
Well the vinyl will be good for collectors only and it's even better that it's limited...
however I don't think this is done for money... at least imo Tarja doesn't expect to get any richer from this... it's a desicion probably made by the record company in UK or sth like that.. so good for all the buyers of this! =)
But honesty let's get done with those limited editions or re-releases ... a fan can get sick and tired of this cr*p and simply download in the end.. and I'm not saying that spesifically for Tarja but for any band..

TheSeer (I am MFF reader too) wrote on 29.07.2009 at 11:31
Seer,

vinyl edition is pressed in vinyl - that is material used before - untill I think 90ties. You did not have CD but a thing with diamater of 30 cm or so and you put that in "gramophone" (vater of CD players)

TheSeer wrote on 29.07.2009 at 14:18
@Wrathchild: Of course, when there is nothing good to say it's better to shut up. That's a lesson Anette and Maestro could learn from diva.

I'm pretty happy that 90% of Tarja's news are related to the music. Pretty good she doesn't need "oh-so-dramatic" interviews to keep her in other people's minds. This is a great start!
I didn't like "My Winter Storm" that much, but I'm so curious about "What Lies Beneath". I have no idea about what to expect.

Mwaha wrote on 29.07.2009 at 15:33
Well, as far as I remember Anette got nickname "Granny Duck" from smb from NW members, so any duck theme is obviously related more to her :)).

Ratzfatz, WT's frontwoman was pregnant but still didn't stop touring while pregnant with first child, also her babygirl didn't affected release of WT's next album and touring. So do not wait so much for goodbies :)

Lyset wrote on 29.07.2009 at 15:45
Lysset:

If Tarja is as fragile as NW members, you could count on goodbye.

Look how they are whining now - all these lamments about being tired and stressed and on the verge of collaps... and they are NOT PREGNANT YET.

So, imagine them pregnant ... No NW anymore.

mermaid wrote on 29.07.2009 at 16:15
Seer,

kein Problem. Ich beehre mich eine Hilfe zu sein.

Ist es nich eine Schade dass Schallplatten wie vom Erdboden verschluckt haben? Ich fulle mich zooo alt..
bei dieses Rückschauen.

Mwaha. Guess you didn´t read my post orderly. I wrote nobody is interested in Tarja anymore. On Tarjas new album. Don´t expect anything, it´ll suck big time. The Seer, if you don´t know what a vinyl is then get the fuck out of here. Go to some Beyonce site instead.

Wrathchild wrote on 29.07.2009 at 19:21
@Wrathchild

If i was Olzon i would be flaterred that someone pays so much attention on me-and with no reason!

But being myself and not Olzon(thank sweet Lord),i prefer people paying attention to me when it matters,and to my words that matter.

That was for the age thing.And for the last time,i'm 20 and it's VERY easy to type something else than you intented to.

About Tarja,your words make NO SENSE AT ALL.
If you believe that what Tarja says in her interviews and her blog is the same to what Olzon and NW say to theirs,the only think i can do for you is to recommend you to go to Tarja's blog.Surprisingly,she talks about music and shows.
Not recipes,clothes or any other thing.
You can also read her intrviews,some of them posted here.You see ANY resemblance with NW's?

An example:how many times do you see the name Tarja in a NW interview(usually followed by an accusation or comparison) and how often do you see the name NW in a Tarja interview?

I've read many.She says it 1-2 times at max.

Now,if all those don't help,i can't do anything more for you.You're an uncurable NW blind follower,along with a die-hard of me(nice one TheSeer :P).

Legeon wrote on 29.07.2009 at 19:31

"I wrote nobody is interested in Tarja anymore."

When you say nobody,you mean yourself?Oh,it seems you don't have a great opinion for yourself then,if you refer to you as "nobody".

"if you don´t know what a vinyl is then get the fuck out of here. Go to some Beyonce site instead."

That was really mature.
1)What is the problem exactly with someone not knowing what a vinyl is?There are MANY young people who have no idea what this is.
Do you know what a TFP is?Oh God,you don't?Millions of people do,spo why don't you "get the fuck out of here".

And i can't see how it is relevant to Metal From Finland,so that it is essential to know what vinyl is in order to be here.

2)What the hell has Beyonce to do with that?BTW,your words should be said to Olzon,she adores Beyonce.

Legeon wrote on 29.07.2009 at 19:37
Wrathchild is just Anette's devoted fan, who now sees how Anette embarassed herself with her blog, tastes, clothes and how she is being laughed at even by people who used to like her. That's why she tries to troll here, to calm down her shallow soul. Poor thing )

Vixen wrote on 29.07.2009 at 20:46

In that case, they could buy Anette's mumu dress via auction. :-D

Speaking about Anette's dresses I do not plan to buy any of them EXCEPT:

a) if I get pregnant, I might consider buying her mumu dress. But even then I'll give no more than 10 euros for it.
b) if I ever decide to make natural-sized voodoo doll of Anette, I might buy some of her other dresses to complete it and to "enhance the effect". In that case I might even pay slightly more than 10 euros.

Mein Verwandte hat vieeeele Schallplatten. Die erste er gekauft hat ist von der lesbischen Saengerin Samantha Fox. Aber er ist 11 Jahre alter als ich.

Wrathchild said: "On Tarjas new album. Don´t expect anything, it´ll suck big time."

Right. Even those songs she wrote together with Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd. And since you know so much about new Tarja's album can you tell us anything about new Nightwish album?

Ist es wahr? I hatte keine Ahnung das sie eine lesbische war... und bist du sicher das sie eine Saengerin war?

"All I know is that I fell in love with Myra, who happens to be a woman, and for the first time in my life I'm really, really in love," she told the Mirror. "With guys I was always waiting to meet my prince in shining armour, but it never happened. Then I met Myra. She's my princess in shining armour!"

Sie war im Schrank 25 Jahre, und erst in 2003 hat sich geoutet. Besser jemals als niemals. Ich war 10 Jahre im Schrank und hat sich letzes Jahr geoutet.

Und über Nachtwunsch Demolition Crew, ich schlage Schlachten Den Trämer vor, die Hymne von unserer Crew zu sein. Mit ein wenig modifizierten Wörter:

He's a priest for the poorest sacrifice
He's but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greed
We bathed in his wine
Drank from his cup, mocked his rhyme
Our slit tongues licked Maestro's aching wounds

Ok,i may not know a single word in German,but i know what "Pädophilie" means.It's a Greek word,remember? :P

It seems that you are talking about something interesting...Would you like to share it with me? :P

Legeon wrote on 30.07.2009 at 13:54
Oh, hello, helo, Legeon,

actually it was nothing special:

I translated EP to german and made a remark how frustrating it is for me to explain that - I feel old.

But as we agreed - 11 years might cause a generation gap already.

As for: "Es man sagt: Ich lebe zu dienen.. "

Und Nachtwunsch zu vernichten. :-D"

This means: As we use to say: I live to serve.
And destroy Nightwish. (addition of Seer)

He also suggested the hymn - that is in English, so you could see.

And my last comment was: OK, but it is way too erotical for mich. I understand you find him attractive, but for me this is a peadophily (or how is it spelled in english.."

Just gossiping. But you might join and tell us - do you find Peter Pen No3 sexually attractive?

Or do you see something else in lyrics build by Seer?

No, I do not find Tuomas very attractive. OK, his butt is fine but his face is just, just... not so attractive. :-p And I didn't have eroticism in mind with those lyrics. That's only Slaying The Dreamer (Schlachten Den Träumer) changed from his perspective into ours. We say/confirm everything he said about him and us.

Slaying The Dreamer

I'm a priest for the poorest sacrifice
I'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greed
You bathed in my wine
Drank from my cup, mocked my rhyme
Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds

Put a stake through my heart!
And drag me into sunlight
So awake for your greed
As you're slaying the dreamer

Swansong for the Wish of Night
God it hurts, give a name to the pain
Our primrose path to hell is growing weed

Blame me, it's me
Coward, a good-for-nothing scapegoat
Dumb kid, living a dream
Romantic only on paper

Tell me why you took all that was mine!
Stay as you lay - don't lead me astray!

Wake up, mow the weed
You'd be nothing without me
Take my life if you have the heart to die

You bastards tainted my tool
Raped my words, played me a fool
Gather your precious glitter and leave me be
The Great Ones are all dead
And I'm tired, too

I truly hate you all!

It flatters me to be Gorgona, indeed. Is not she the one causing people to turn into stone? With these snakehairs?

Though, that´s what is in fact in my job description, so I would preffer to stay that capricious and volatile kind here..

"It flatters me to be Gorgona, indeed. Is not she the one causing people to turn into stone? With these snakehairs? "

No,that was Medussa.
Gorgones(mermaids)are considered the successors of the Sirens (in Odyssey).

In Greece we have only one myth about mermaids,which is very fascinating.
It is said that Gorgona is the sister of Alexander The Great,and ever since she shows up in sailors,asking them: "Is King Alexander alive?"
If you say yes,she lets you live,if no she kills you.

ps.do you know some Greek i suppose? :)

Legeon wrote on 30.07.2009 at 15:52
Legeon said:

"It is said that Gorgona is the sister of Alexander The Great,"

now that is fascinating - I read books about Alexander the great as a child (EVERYBODY in that age is fascinated by Egypt and Greece and Roma)

but now you told me something I never heard of.

By sister you mean the same mother or the same father?

"ps.do you know some Greek i suppose? :)"

N, and I get totally exhausted by creating those 2 sentencies... (it is cool to be exhausted on this page, so I am exhausted the best way I can..)

Seer,

it is very kind of you to hate us all - there is such a democratic feeling about that..

Kidding :-)

I knew the original, off course, as far as it is my favourite one.

But taken out of context it gets quite erotical (a bit perverse maybe) sense.

I really enjoyed that comment about his ass - never thought about THAT. (well, not in this case).

I mind his chest actually - remember when he was wearing completely opened red shirt to show all of his extremely white chest?
I have a picture, but I can not find where did I take it from.. so I can not show you.

But let us put it straight - he is has not a chest of Stallone whatever he believes..
and in this lights the red shirt caused his very white chest looked very Michael Jackson´s one.

Brr.

Well, and as you said - that face used to be prettier. Now - with that blond dead mouse under his nose it is not a most beautifull one..
And he really aged a lot in short time.

How can you mind Maestro's White Chest of Wonders? Blasphemy!

CanuckFan: Wasn't Alexi Laiho in that list of female metal singers too? I guess Tuomas should be too, it's no problem that he can't sing well, Anette can't either, and Alexi is the same, he just started to sing because nobody else in the band wanted to do it, just as in NW (regarding male vocals, of course).

as I see you had some fun with Maestro´s chest.

Almagest:
"How can you mind Maestro's White Chest of Wonders? Blasphemy!"

actually, I do not stand for white chests like his... :-)

Dark chests od wonders would be different case - but still, not Maestro´s.

He is NOT that kind of man who could show them proudly..

Seer said:

Yes, I like that, too. With Maestro is true what with many women - There is nothing so erotical as completely dressed woman - you have a lot of space for imagination.
And pictures your imagination could deliver you are always much more erotical then the naked truth.

"My favourite part is that "You mocked my rhyme, your slit tongues licked my aching wounds...". It is SOOOOOOOOO me. And it's not erotical. :-p "

"My favourite part is: The great ones are dead and I am tired, too. I truly hate you ALL!"
